Thursday's Whats new
Good Morning Good Morning GoodMorning
I am still up but hitting the sack soon. Hope to be able to sleep. Today I volunteer at Feed My Lambs. We make lunch for about 60 low income residents of an apartment complex in my area. Many have issues such as diabetes and High blood pressure. Some are elderly and some are young mothers with small children. My church has Thursday. Other churches and organizations have the other days. Then I have a Doctor's appt late in the afternoon. Fun Fun Fun
I was awed to see 1,294 applicants sworn in yesterday as brand new US citizens. One of which was my good friend Angela from Taiwan. 109 countries were represented. We truly are Unique.
Chat on and have a great day.

Hi Linda and my OFF family:
It's nearly 4 a.m. Just checked on my payroll deposit and now it's off to bed. Now that I actually have to stay til nearly 2:30 a.m., this is hard! I'm tired. It wouldn't be so bad if, by the time the later night shift crew came in, I wasn't already done. Then I've got to sit there and wait for them to give me something to do. Kinda stupid. I've got to talk to my boss about that. So I sit there for an hour and a half with nothing to do and wait. Or at least I did today.
Anyway, I'm tired, I've been battling a headache off and on for the past two days (I think it's allergies ... it's mostly gone now that I closed the windows and the flower pollen and fragrances from next door aren't coming in, and I'm away from the office and the woman who comes in at midnight and wears something that irritates me ... not sure if it's soap or perfume or what, but it gives me a headache).
That's cool about your friend becoming a U.S. citizen. Yes, people come to our country and want to get in. Doesn't happen like that in too many other countries. We have stories in the paper all the time about the citizenship ceremonies, and they are heartwarming ... the Lost Boys from Africa, the refugees from various countries seeking a better life. There's plenty wrong with our country, but there is a lot that's right.
Well, I'm tired, need to go to the bank later this morning, then a little shopping. Have a good day.

I get up every morning determined to both change the world and have one hell of a good time. Sometimes this makes planning my day difficult.

Good morning all. My week is just about done. One more shift.
Went to the ballgame before work tonight. Geez, it must be easier to be a Detroit Lions fan. At least they don't expect much. The Rangers have scored one run in 37 innings. That is ridiculous.
Hope you all have a good day. Survivor starts tonight.

Good morning Linda & OFFers
I visited the two group members who had their surgery. Both are up and doing well. One woman had been extra nervous and worried about how much pain would be involved. She was pleasantly surprized that there was only mild discomfort, not actual pain. The two nurses kept complimenting her for taking this giant step towards better health. I left feeling all warm and fuzzy.
Kisses

Good morning.
I'm up. That's all I can say about that!! I'm up.
Hit the bed at 7 p.m. last night and took a little time to get rid of the handful of peanuts I had eaten that didn't set well. Got up at 10, traded peanuts for half an egg salad sammich that stayed down.... back to sleep. Am I the ONLY one that does that? Seems lately, it's about twice a week.... I don't eat regularly or any some of the time... you'd think I'd be the size of a pencil.
Just about caught up at work. Most of the time I'd tell you it wasn't worth the effort to take the time off with what you'fe faced with when you get back...... but can't do it this time. The time wasn't long enough.
Grapefest is this weekend in Grapevine... and it's STILL raining. Temps have been in the mid-70's. I'll be HOME this weekend.. wondering where my underwear is.... haven't unpacked yet. Living out of a suitcase....and I live here!!
Prayers with Grammylew... golly, we have so many hurting.... and so many anxious. I'm blessed.... but want so much for so many... take the good wishes, the hugs, the prayers that you need from me and if any left, pass them around. My bucket overflows with those.

Good Morning Linda, Margo, George, Eileen, Annette, Terri, Janet and the Rest of you OFFr's,
Nice to see you staring us off Linda.
I don't have much happening, other than work and an AA meeting this evening, this is a good thing.
Wishing everyone a good day, with prayers going out for those in need.
Hugs, Laureen
